Le disfunzioni sessuali, sebbene siano ancora un argomento tabù, tra cui la disfunzione erettile e l'eiaculazione precoce, colpiscono il 40-50% della popolazione maschile a un certo punto della loro vita e in molti casi compromettono seriamente non solo la qualità della vita del paziente ma anche quella della sua partner. La mancanza di una chiara eziologia fa sì che le varie soluzioni attuali siano di natura farmaceutica, efficaci ma con vari effetti collaterali. D'altra parte, i trattamenti psicologici, nutrizionali o di altro tipo non hanno un'efficacia comprovata o sono ancora in fase sperimentale. Negli ultimi anni, in particolare dopo il COVID, con l'evoluzione dell'atteggiamento nei confronti della salute e del benessere sessuale e la diminuzione dei tabù legati alla discussione di questi temi, le aziende produttrici di dispositivi sessuali hanno iniziato a esplorare nuovi mercati per affrontare le varie sfide che gli uomini devono affrontare durante le loro esperienze sessuali. Invece di concentrarsi esclusivamente su dispositivi puramente sessuali che mirano principalmente a dare piacere, si sta affermando la tendenza a sviluppare soluzioni olistiche che promuovano il benessere sessuale e riproduttivo generale degli uomini. Tuttavia, trattandosi di un mercato nuovo, non tutte le soluzioni sono efficaci o ben progettate e molte non riescono a soddisfare le esigenze e le aspettative degli utenti e dei soggetti interessati. Qui si colloca l'azienda in esame, MYHIXEL, che è nata sulla base dei risultati efficaci e privi di effetti collaterali di una nuova metodologia cognitiva comportamentale realizzata con un dispositivo appositamente progettato. Ora, dopo la convalida del grande successo di questo primo MVP, l'azienda punta a crescere basando i prossimi passi sulle intuizioni dei clienti e sulla valutazione del mercato per diventare il punto di riferimento nel mercato del benessere sessuale. Il design strategico, come strumento e sguardo, offre un approccio promettente per affrontare questo problema, fornendo un quadro per lo sviluppo di soluzioni innovative ed efficaci incentrate sull'utente, che creano un chiaro vantaggio sul mercato del benessere sessuale maschile. Il design strategico ha il grande potenziale per dare un contributo significativo al settore. Il presente documento si propone di esplorare un'azienda di benessere sessuale maschile attraverso l'applicazione del design strategico, esaminando come questo approccio possa essere utilizzato per migliorare le soluzioni esistenti e svilupparne di nuove che rispondano meglio alle esigenze degli utenti target e degli stakeholder, portando così a una rivoluzione non solo durante il prossimo lancio del prodotto, ma anche con il futuro dell'azienda e del mercato del benessere sessuale, migliorando la vita di tutti.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunctions, although still a taboo subject, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, affect 40-50% of the male population at some point in their lives and in many cases seriously affect not only the quality of life of the patient but also that of his partner. Lack of a clear etiology means that the current various solutions are of a pharmaceutical nature, effective but with various side effects. On the other hand, psychological, nutritional, or any other type of treatment either lacks proven effectiveness or is still in very experimental stages. In recent years, especially since COVID, attitudes towards sexual health and wellness, have been evolving, and taboos around discussing these issues have diminished, sexual device companies have begun to explore new markets addressing men's various challenges during their sexual experiences. Instead of focusing solely on purely sexual devices that seek mainly to give pleasure, there is now a growing trend towards developing holistic solutions that promote men's overall sexual and reproductive wellness. However, given that this is a novel market, not all solutions are effective or well-designed, and many fail to meet their targeted users' and stakeholders' needs and expectations. Here it can be found the company under evaluation, MYHIXEL was born based on the effective non-side effects results that a new cognitive behavioral methodology that was carried out with a specially designed device. Now after the validation of the great success of this first MVP, the company aims to grow to base the next steps on customer insights and market valuation to become the reference in the sexual wellness market. Strategic design as a tool and eyes, offers a promising approach to addressing this, by providing a framework for developing user-centered, innovative, and effective solutions that create a clear advantage in the men’s sexual wellness market. Strategic design has the great potential to make a significant contribution to the field.
